    I certainly never said that. The covenants don't mention other borrowing...they require EBITDA to cover a multiple of the interest. I think the multiple is between 1.5 and 2. Any additional borrowing or even capital injection into the Club probably won't allow any increased revenue spend because the EBITDA will reduce. Any additional loan or capital injection can fund things like hotel builds because they don't affect EBITDA.
    In principle the owners could provide alternative security and remove the covenants but I think that is much harder than you think.

    Why is Nel Patrick Harris playing Keir Starmer?

    Oh, wait, that's our chairman...

    It goes to show the times we live in when the Lewis family are rumoured to be putting a £100 million into the club and I think Meh is that all

    And they decided to do this about 10 minutes after the transfer window closed.

    Bloomberg report we've been given £90m from Macquarie Group

    Basically a payday loan where we get the money now and Macquarie get it back from our TV revenue between December 2025-May 2026

    Before anyone asks..,
    i.) This is not an unused step for a club to make, especially in Spain given Barca and Los Ladrones regularly make the kinds of deals
    ii.) It's more for liquidity than any thoughts of a January splurge, given our summer spending put a bit of a squeeze on our finances

    According to Swiss Ramble, the summer window improved our EBITDA by a small amount so I think we could spend about £200m in January without breaching any covenants.
    A capital injection from ENIC could fund that and the hotel build.

    All four of our league games in November have been rescheduled.
    What a load of bollocks.

    Analysing ... done.


    1. The KO time against Kings Rd FC seems to be for the USA market.

    2. The Man Utd game is the third midday KO in 4 months.
    Do not know what the distribution of such fixtures
    is per club over that period.

    3. The NLD shift gives both teams one less day
    before arguably their most difficult CL first
    stage opponent.


    On #1, if it brings in more TV broadcast
    revenue accordingly, fair enough.

    On #2, WTF is the rationale for those KO times
    (damned if I know) ??

    Lord Ashcroft's son has bought a 3.4% stake in the club, which reportedly costs around £100m

    ****...

    Probably right to do so.
    Spurs apparently saying they have received no offer and repeating their 'club not for sale' message.

    Aren’t the reports stating the offer was £3.2bn with an additional £1.2bn being made available towards the squad and agents?

    I can’t see the Lewis cartel accepting a bid of £3.2bn!

    Around 3 billion is the market value but then there is a small matter of 900 million Stadium debt. Who knows!
    Spurs cost ENIC 22 million.

    These are all telephone numbers in a crazy world.

    I wonder if he had a heads up on the proposed take over or is that insider trading

    The US consortium which Murdoch's Hate Comic is really invested in saying is making a £4.5bn bid is...more that a little sketchy

    Here's the brief highlights of Brooklyn Earich
    - He used to be a DJ, but then decided he would rather be a wannabe Elon Musk
    - He owns a company named Redacted RnD, and if their name wasn't enough of a potential red flag a cursory look at their website certainly is
    - He bid to buy Maserati's Formula E team, but the deal fell through around the time he would have had to put money in
    - The apps he's attached to, Littlstar and Phoodie, don't inspire confidence
    - Of course he was heavily involved with Nasty ****ing Things

    Steer clear
